Hans Birthday!

     Hans Inigo Parreno, invited us for a dinner at their house in Ana Ros Village last Sept. 8. It was raining hard but because we said yes, the four of us Mam Joy, Dece , Maxi and I went to their house. And indeed  that was a good choice, for waiting for us is an array of delectable foods spread on the round table. Valenciana, pork bbq, ensalada, adobo, fried chicken, variety od dessert and a very tasty dirty ice cream. Hans cousins were playing with his gift toys, we gave Hans cash as gift in an envelop, when his young cousin saw it, he  told us to attend his birthday too, so that he can have money too. His aunts, and uncles , lolos and lolas were there it was really a family affair. Speaking of a perfect hostess ,his Mom is busy replenishing foods on the table.

79TH ILOILO CHARTER DAY EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING CONTEST

       Extemporaneous Speaking  is one type of contest I love to watch, it measures the mental alertness of  the contestants as they were given their respective questions  only three minutes before  their  time to  answer a certain  topic. And that was the event I watched during the 79th Iloilo Charter Day Celebration last August 18, 2016 at the Robinson Place. Fourteen high school students from different schools public and private competed in that nerve- wracking event.
        Junel Ann P. Divinagracia  our City Tourism Officer is not only beautiful but  very accommodating as well. Yes, she is the very epitome of what a tourism head  should be.
        The contest proved that we have  many bright students here in Iloilo City that surfaced, as each  delivered their respective pieces. The tourism OJT's did wonderful intermission numbers, well there's no need to invite or hire  outside talents, our tourism office has lots of them, lovely and curvaceous too.
        Declared winners, First Place: Elaisha Pomida of St. Joseph,  Second Place: Janna Marie Go, of Iloilo Scholastic Academy, and third place :Shaila Veronica Paris of West Visayas State University.
        But I would like to congratulate all the other  contestants they all did very well too! Special mention to John Kendrick Lomibao of J. Oberas Scholastic Academy, he has a good speaking voice and mid-western accent that goes with it.

VEGGIES FASHION 2016

        Yes, a very interesting fashion wear is in the offing and it started  at  J. Oberas Scholastic Academy. The school celebrated the Nutrition Month last July 28  and the highlight was a pageant with the candidates wearing  a costume with vegetables as part of the design. How did they  do it,  you may ask, well no answer is clear enough but the picture will tell  us of the wonder of it all.
        How the okra can be made us crown, red and green pepper as neclace, batuan as belt, asparagus as train, pechay as skirt, baguio beans as belt, onions as buttons, carrots in hats, mongo as sequins, and so many other details.
        What are you waiting for, the trend now is WEAR IT AND EAT IT!

Isn't it great to pose in the longest passenger jeep in the Philippines.
To feel closer to this wonder and lean on its greatness. That's what I did when I saw it, and it  proudly beams at me with his redness.

JENNIE MARIE REGALADO CERDANA CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY


  The Regalado's is one of my extended families. So when Jen Rex the eldest son of Rex and Jennie Marie  informed me  that her mom will celebrate her birthday (that was July 5) I readily agreed and bundled myself to their new residence at the Lessandra Subdivision.  I'm so  happy that Jennie's siblings were there, yes, they were still kids during my stint  in  the Regalado's business. Their parents Manong Teroy and Manang Masing Regalado  then was into Jukebox business, their  Millies Barquillos was a popular  pasalubong during those days and their restaurant  JENNIE-ROSE enjoyed a jam-packed crowd every minute, every hour.
        With Jennie, Rose Al, and Phillip, we posed for some pictorials which I should say is a must, after several decades, of not seeing them. All of them have families of their own now. Sad to say that I was not able to wait  for Inday Millie and Neneng Arlene and of course Stela,  coz  I had to leave early for some appointments. I had taken shots of their new home  and some interiors, the enhancement  was done by Rex himself.
        Rex and Jennie Marie Cerdana is into Air-Con Installation business and others related to that. Their good works  speak of customers in queue for their services. JENNIE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
